I've brought my car in multiple times to this shop and have always received great service at a reasonable price. I trust that the work they do on my car is not only of good quality, but that it doesn't include things that I don't need or want. They are very honest, so if they say something needs to done, you know they're not just trying to squeeze more money out of you.

B&A Auto is the best automobile service in Charlotte. Good people, considerate, reasonable, not trying to sell me products or service I don't need. Extremely thorough and honest. I have been taking my cars to them since 2008. Was introduced to them by a friend and have recommended them for years. They have taken care of all my auto issues, even helped my handicapped brother sell his truck, and pushed back when some guy tried to treat my brother like an idiot because of his handicap. Yeah, 5 stars is not enough. 5+ from me for sure.

Excellent service for a reasonable price. Did not feel as though they were just throwing parts at my car and hoping. The seem to have all of the latest technology to properly diagnose check engine lights. Honest dude that has several mechanics on site with various ares of expertise. Frank especially helpful with transmission issues. Was referred there by Phil Jackson Auto Sales and now I will give them first shot with all my car issues.

Vehicle tips

According to recent studies, 5 percent of all motor vehicle fatalities are clearly caused by automobile maintenance neglect.

The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of coolant should be checked. (A 50/50 mix of anti-freeze and water is usually recommended.)

Never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled. The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps and hoses should be checked by a pro.

Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual, or more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage or tow a trailer.

Replace other filters (air, fuel, PCV, etc.) as recommended, or more often in dusty conditions. Get engine drivability problems (hard stops, rough idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles. Check tire pressures once a month; let the tires cool down first. Don't forget your spare and be sure your jack is in good condition.
